John Cleese and the “Holy Grail” — coming to the Florida Film Festival

“Monty Python and the Holy Grail” is one of those gold standard comedies that keeps on giving, a farce so unerringly-costumed, production designed and covered in muck that it looks like a documentary, with slapstick and sight gags that twist towards surreal and dialogue that takes on economic theory, the aerodynamics of cocoanuts and what constitutes “a mere flesh wound.”

This classic merits revival every few years, and this year, The Florida Film Festival is bringing it back.

And they’re hosting a Q&A with the very silly John Cleese afterwards.

The Pythons aren’t getting any younger, so you’d best grab this chance to come see and hear from Basil Fawlty and his “Fish Called Wanda.”

I’ve interviewed a couple of Pythons — “The Terry’s” — Jones and Gilliam. But never the erudite Oxbridge Master of Silly Walks. I’m moderating the Q & A. Which means “Right, I’ve got some homework to do.”

Just following Our Lord J. C.  on Twitter will never do.

Enzian Theater, Maitland, the evening of April 14.

See you there.
